Will TLauncher steal my Premium Minecraft account

I recently saw that TLauncher contains virusses (spywares). I used to use TLauncher so I am anxious about it. I have questions about a situation too. (Sorry about my poor English, It isnt my native language)



1- There was a button called "Authorization with Mojang" and I used to log in with my premium account to TLauncher. I'm afraid that TLauncher will steal my account. Does something like that will happen??

2- I changed my Microsoft accounts passwords. Am I safe?

Allowing a mod to authenticate for you? I mean yeah it could. Just like the PW from mojang themselves getting stolen. You have to weigh the risk.

When you think that I have changed all of my passwords and formatted my PC, is it really possible?

If thats a serious question, then it will require a lot more education than this thread is scoped for. If possible make your minecraft password not the same as your other web accounts, and enable 2FA if possible.

Change your passwords and you should be fine.

Also if that password is used anywhere else it NEEDS to be changed there as well.

Should I be worried about passwords that is completely different?

And Is it okay to put passwords like "qwerty" to "qwertyasdwasfwadfw"? Just an example.

I make all of my passwords hard. I use a combination of upper case, lower case, 1-0 and special characters. I use a different password on every account.

Use Google Translate to convert posts to your native language. That might help I think.

I do, but it doesn't always work. Sometimes my language cannot reflect the meaning of some sentences. And how do you keep these passwords in your mind? Are you using a program?

Basically I only need to remember 1 for the most part. I use a combination pattern of keys known only to me. I don't want to say what that pattern is. It wouldn't make sense to a hacker but it would if I say what it is openly.

I don't think so. Your other passwords should be fine.

TLauncher appears to be a legitimate application, but I would still avoid putting your password in there.

@ShiBDiB @64K @Solaris17 I changed all of my passwords (as much as i can remember) Do I need to do something else? Am I alright with all of these?

I'd guess you're fine. TLauncher seems to be a legit program, but it's smart to never use any official account info in third party programs just in case.

Why are you using a pirated launcher if you can literally pay for the game?

For me, some I keep in my mind but most are stored in Keepass/KeepassX/KeepassXC; make your password for it extra long, like a pass sentence instead of a pass ‘word’, and be sure to have a plan to back it up e.g. to a thumb drive.

Even without much proof if there wasn't any, DO NOT USE PREMIUM ACCOUNTS ON "FREE" LAUNCHERS. JUST DONT. If you wanna login on MC without an account fine, but in ANY non-premium launcher, do not use your premium account, please.

Account farms are populated this way (out of many).

Also yes, T-Launcher is malware.
